The physical structure and the service infrastructure also had to be addressed. Factors such as the architecture (a building opened in 1888) and the lack of space for complementary services had rendered it utterly obsolete for commercial activity. However, the transformation involved in the remodelling of the market had to be brought about in combination with burgeoning technological advantages, with the design of a building which is part of the city's artistic heritage. Moreover, there was the need to palliate a lack of basic elements for operators and users, including the provision of elements such as parking, and others which had not yet been mainstreamed into the market network.
These were the premises underpinning the remodelling of La Concepción Market, which was officially reopened on May 16, 1998. A tradition of more than of 115 years of history, which make it so special, and which was afforded the instruments it would need to become a market centre in the future.

The total cost of remodelling La Concepción Market amounted to 1,180 million pesetas, plus the cost of building the new stalls.
